Jens, I was thinking of rounding the corner, but decided against it, because I’ll have a big structure at that end of the layout. So most of the corner won’t be visible anyway.
Steve, thank you for your very kind word. The bar is already so high on this forum that what I am doing hardly has any effect on that. But like you I really like these two stuctures that I built for the short lived Plymouth Street layout and I am glad that I found a way to have them on this layout.
biL, inspiration on our forum is a mutual thing. A few days ago you posted two pics of your mock-ups on another thread that made me think again about the structures I am going to build for my extension (left end of the layout). I wanted to build a big concrete (background) structure like you find them in Long Island City with one spur leading to it and the main passing in front. Now after seeing you pics, I am planning an "end of the line" scene with the tracks disappearing in an old (redbrick) factory or between some old warehouses ... Thank you for those inspiring pics.
That is how my cobblestone street looks after some painting and weathering.
